Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 828 The Qi Family
In the middle of the night, Qi Muyuan dragged his tired body and walked on the street, his eyes scanned every corner, full of expectations that Du Jinning would appear in front of him in the next moment, and joked with him with a smile on his face: "Qi Muyuan, you are here in the middle of the night What are you doing here, sleepwalking?"

Yet nothing.

Except for a few dogs barking and children crying, the dark night was eerily silent.

Looking at the heavy-footed boss walking in front, the two subordinates behind him looked at each other, both shook their heads and sighed secretly.

They are okay, they are busy during this time, and they can take turns to rest.But Mr. Qi hasn't closed his eyes since Mr. Du disappeared.In addition to dealing with the investigation and hunting down of the family that the emperor told him, he was constantly looking for Mr. Du.

If it goes on like this, even hard-nosed people can't stand it.

The most frightening thing is that they have almost searched the entire capital like a carpet, but found nothing.I don't know how long this search will last, will Mr. Qi collapse suddenly.

Suddenly, Qi Muyuan said: "Seventeen, have you visited these districts?"

One of the people who followed hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord. According to your order, let us send out one person, and the Imperial Forest Army send out two people to form a three-person team. They will come to the door with their household registrations and call out all the masters and servants one by one. For comparison, let the neighbors authenticate each other, and inspect the houses. In the past two days, most of the capital area has been inspected, and only the mixed fish and dragons in the southern district have not been inspected."

He seemed to know what Qi Muyuan wanted to say, and before he could speak, he said again: "My lord, don't worry, we know that the matter is of great importance, and we have checked it carefully, and we dare not be negligent. Those who were selected to form the search team are all People who have met Mr. Du. Everyone has been in this business for so long, as long as there is a clue, they will not escape our eyes."

Qi Muyuan's slightly opened mouth closed again.

Now is the critical moment for Zhao Ho to attack the family and gather power. As the head of Zhao Ho's spy agency, he has no way to find Du Jinning in person during the day.Even if he was worried about his subordinates, he had no choice but to let them do it.

He was about to tell his subordinates a few more words when he saw someone riding a horse running towards him in the distance. The three of them immediately looked over there and entered a state of alert at the same time.

There is no curfew in Song Dynasty, but it is dark at night, and no one will ride on the street without special circumstances.

"Master, it's me." Immediately came the voice of watching chess.

Everyone relax.

Guan Qi rode his horse up to the three of them, got off his horse, and said to Qi Muyuan, "Young master, the old man asked the villain to call you back."

Qi Muyuan frowned: "Did you say something?"

Guanqi shook his head: "It's very important to say."

Seventeen hurriedly said: "My lord, you can go back, the two of us will just patrol here."

Qi Muyuan pursed his lips and looked at the two of them, then nodded: "Okay. That's hard work, you two."

As he said that, he walked to the entrance of Wrath Road in front, untied the horse rope tied to the tree, got on the horse, and galloped away.

Guanqi hurriedly followed.

After a while, the two arrived at Qi Mansion, Qi Muyuan entered the gate, and was about to go to Qi Bokun's courtyard, when Old Man Shen said, "Master, the old man is waiting for you in your courtyard."

Qi Muyuan quickly turned in a different direction and returned to his yard.

After entering the courtyard gate, he saw Qi Bokun sitting alone in the hall, his figure stretched very long by the candlelight.

"Grandfather." Qi Muyuan went over and saluted.

Looking at his grandson with unshaven beard, sunken eye sockets, bloodshot eyes, and a lot of weight loss, Qi Bokun felt very distressed.

He motioned Qi Muyuan to sit down, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, then turned his head and told Guanqi: "Go ask the kitchen to bring the stewed ginseng soup."

"No, grandfather." Qi Muyuan said hastily.

He can't eat anything.

Qi Bokun waved his hand at Guanqi, motioning him to follow his orders, then turned his head to look at Qi Muyuan, sighed, and persuaded him: "Didn't we analyze it? Du Jinning must have left by himself. She You know what kind of person she is. Since she left by herself, she can guarantee her own safety."

He paused: "So, don't worry too much. If you continue like this, your spirit and body will collapse."

Qi Muyuan reached out and rubbed his face, his voice became extremely hoarse due to fatigue: "But there is a certain probability that she was taken away."

"Abduct her for what? Now she is a hot potato, if someone finds out, the whole family will suffer." Qi Bokun said.

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "Grandfather, you said that in order not to be held accountable, the captors would most likely kill her and bury her quietly, as if nothing happened."

Thinking of this possibility, Qi Muyuan's heart ached as if being torn apart.

"When I think that she may be facing life and death at this time, my heart hurts so much that I can't breathe. If we find her sooner, she may survive. So I can't sit still at home. I can't breathe at home. Can't stay."

Hearing this, Qi Bokun couldn't help sighing when he saw his haggard grandson who might collapse at any moment.

When Shisan was rescued and Du Jinning disappeared, he was worried that Qi Muyuan guessed that Du Jinning had left by himself, and he didn't show extreme worry. When Zhao Yu saw doubts, he not only failed to comfort his grandson, but also told his grandson the worst situation. say it.

Unexpectedly, caring would lead to chaos, he was already very worried without mentioning Qi Muyuan; when he said that, Qi Muyuan's recent painful and crazy performance shocked Qi Bokun.

You know, it has been three days since Thirteen came back, and Qi Muyuan hardly closed his eyes during these three days.

Not only did he have to complete the task assigned by Zhao Wei to search and hunt down the escaped family, but he also had to spare time to find Du Jinning.Fearing that his subordinates would not do their best, whenever he had time, he would search all over the city by himself.

Qi Bokun was very worried that Du Jinning hadn't been found, and Qi Muyuan fell down first.

He regretted that he had made the situation so serious in the first place.

But he understood that what he thought of, Qi Muyuan would think of; what he didn't think of, Qi Muyuan would still think of.Even if he didn't say anything, Qi Muyuan would still be in this state.

He could only persuade Qi Muyuan earnestly: "You have to trust Du Jinning, she has been able to disguise herself as a man for so many years, and even took part in the imperial examinations without being discovered, which shows how cautious and wise she is, and she can be easily harmed by others go?"

"In addition, the way to deal with the aristocratic family was thought of by her in advance. You know how meticulous this plan is. She can arrange such a big situation, and she can predict the development of the situation like a god. Then escape from the aristocratic family and you and me Control is a piece of cake for her. She will definitely stay in a certain house and live in another capacity now, and there is absolutely no need for you to do this now."
